PBP UFC 297 Strickland vs. Du Plessis: Preliminary Card PBP Discussion - Sat 1/20 at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT

[NoSmilez]

Damn DC just pulled a sakuna on the winner.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

I scored it for Sidey but I can see the fight going either way. Great scrap from both guys

 

[Carsormyr]

I don't agree with that DEC. That one sucks for Sidey, he bled for that win.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Tavares wins by split decision. Surprised by that call.

 

[goOb]

There is no finality. Run it back.

Agreed. Someone needs to be stiffened.

 

[MDoza]

Good fight

 

[AmonTobin]

Definitely need a 3rd fight.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

It was a close fight but I don't understand how it's a bad decision. Sidey was throwing a ton but not really connecting anything and his face was fucked.

 

[europe1]

Some of you misuse the term, robbery. This was a very close fight. An example of a robbery is Bas Rutten vs Kevin Randleman.

 

[SuperNerd]

Crowd booing a split that went against the home town guy to a guy who missed weight. How is that weird?

It's not weird. He wants you to know he's better than them.

 

[MMA4Life]

I feel like Sidey’s owed a rematch if he wants it given how close the fight was and the fact that Taveras came in overweight.

I agree

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

I don't think it was a robbery, it came down to the 3rd rd and that 3rd could have gone either way.

yeah very close. i thought sidey stole it late with activity but maybe not.

 

[Krixes]

They got that wrong...

Two guys went to war and both put up a great showing. The weight miss shouldn't go unfined, but I don't see a point in booing. To each their own I guess.

 

[BroRogan]

Super lame how bad he missed weight and then gets the decision. Sidey won by volume and pressure. Judges are a bunch of idiots that only saw the blood.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Oh well, where’s my weed at

time for Jourdaimnnnn

 

[Can’t Handle My Riddum]

Jourdain by incest.

 

[SCTwins]

For those who thought Sidey won you might have forgotten to figure in the mandatory point deduction for being Canadian.

 

[ledonk]

Not a terrible decision... but being 4 pounds over weight is meh.

ah yes. winning a third round by backing up and doing fuck all is not terrible.

 

[FightFan87]

Sidney learned a lesson about giving to many chances. Won first didn't have to run it back. Opponent came in way over weight and still took it. Than left it to the judges where he lost a split he should have won.
